I am so excited to share a video from one of my favorite online scrapbooking stores; Blue Moon Scrapbooking. The folks there are wonderful people; they even call to let you know your order is on the way—most of the time the same day you order it! They have just started carrying Blue Fern Studios chipboard, and they've made a fantastic video that showcases our products. Take a look and stop by their website for a little shopping, too! ;-)
